The Business Promise.

The tight money furry is oyer, and il
is now clearly apparent to all that there
was no reasonable excuse whatever for II.
Because the large cotton crop and the
unusually large fall trade made excep-
tional demands upon money circles a few
weeks ago, the pressure speedily deyel-
oped distrust and distrust rushed rapidly
toward a panic, and every bank and other
money lender shut down to await events.
There was quite enough money all the
time for all legitimate demands of trade,
but money circles are the most sensitive
of all business centres, and there was a
sudden and severe stringency because
those who had money was afraid to lend
it.-Phaddapha Times

The Journal Of Commerce, in reviewing
the Civil Service examinations, says that
this is moi the method of successful bust
ness men in the choice Of their subordi-
mates. An applicant may be a very good
scholar, but very poor salesman, book
keeper, or cashier. 4 glib tongue is not
the highest recommendation for a sue
cessful appointment in the counting
house, bank, store, or factory. And the
Tigidi,y Of the rules adopted in these
examinations, and the tenscity with
which every one, from the commission
ers down, cling to the red-tape perform
ance, is wonderful to behold.

After George Steers achievement in
designing the yacht America he was oom-
missioned by the Government of the
United States to furnish plans for the
frigate Nisgart, and by that Of Russia to
design the frigate General Admiral.
These ships were the very flower of the
respective fleets. Why should not Secre-
iary Whitney follow so good a precedent
and commission the designer of the
Puritan, the Mayhower and the Volunteer
to model a steam cruiser of the first
class ?
She would be the fastest wal ship in the
world, of course. We might confidently
expect Mr.. Burgess to produce an Ameri-
can type upon which to model a peerless
feet.

Yacht Racing.

1t is commonly supposed that steam
is so rapidly superseding sails that
this consideration is of waning import
ance. But the notion is erroneous. The
number Of sailing vessels in the world
expressed in tons, is very nearly double
that of the steamers, and not only is this
true. but in the last statistical year Great
Britain. the great ~ship-building country
of the world, turned out more sailing
tonnage than steam tonnage.
While this is the case it needs no argu-
ment to show that yatch racing serves
other ends than those Of sport merely,
and may contribute more substantially
than by the mere pleasure of victory 10
national pride and renOwn.-N J. mr.

THE STATES

Judge Bond has fined the States Off
GERS for contempt of court in prosecuting
cases against the people who paid taxes
in coupons or dealt in coupons.
The Attorney General Of the State was
assessed for $500, and the others for 500
each, except Mr.. Scott, who was let of
with $40 fine.
Mr.. Ayers is in charge Of a deputy
marshal, and is presumably in durance
vile for refusing to pay his fine.
Some of our able contemporaries yes
terday thought that there would at once
be an appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court-which, of course, could
not be done on the decision of the court
as it stood yesterday.
But if the States officers refuse to pay
the fines, Of course the court will be
obliged TO incarcerate those gentlemen
who seem to feel so confident Of the legal
integrity Of their position that they will
doubtless take the risks OF feeding on the
damps Of a dungeon with the attendant
advertisement Of m%artyrdom. Though a
Justice Of the Supreme Court may grant
a writ OF ha5eas corpus when the case
comes up before the Supreme Court, ac-
cording to the opinion Of some Of the
ablest lawyers in the land Judge Bonds
Injunction will be sustained.

they are to be hanged for the actions Of

that these men did have a fair trial.-N.

Chicago wants as many millions as can
be bid for to make the Hennepin Canal.
OF course it is not to be denied that
New York would derive advantages from
the canal connection of Chicago and the
Mississippi Rivera as proposed. But these
contingent benefits must not blind us to
the fact that the undertaking is no more
entitled to Federal appropriations than
many Others Of the kind which We have
been bound to condemn. As long as We
cannot see our way TO recommending the
Erie Canal as a proper subject for FEEDER
al patronage, we cannot consistently GER
tify to the soundness Of Chicsgo's present
claim.

The Columbia Bulletin reports that a
most horrible accident occurred last sun
day afternoon 10 a young c0lored boy
named Frank Bowles, nine years old, on
the new turn-tahle just completed at this
depot. He and a number OF other boys
were causing the table to swing around,
riding arOund"-and he, sitting al the
immediate end allowed his limbs TO hang
over. As the track on the table ap-
preached the line Of the track itself, his
left leg was caught between the project
ing pieces and cut or rather mashed il off
Just above the ankle. A deep cut was
also made high up on the right limb, and
he was otherwise bruised and battered.
His left limb was amputsted by our two
doctors below the knee. and at last ac-
counes he was doing well. The nerve
exhibited by the little fellow has been q
subject of admiring comment.
